Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
PRODUK OPERASIONALISASI BANK SYARI’AH : STUDI PENERAPAN PRINSIP SYARI’AH PADA BANK SYARI’AH MANDIRI (BSM) DAN BANK ISLAM MALASYA BERHARD (BIMB)

Produk-produk tersebut dalam aplikasi praksisnya memiliki instrumen prinsip Syari’ah yang berbeda.

BSM dan BIMB merupakan dua bank Syari’ah yang eksistensinya sebagai representasi dari prinsip-prinsip diatas. Selain itu keduanya merupakan aikon bank Syari’ah dari masing-masing negara. Di sisi lain, bank Syari’ah juga dihadapkan dalam permasalahan dan tantangan diera percaturan ekonomi dewasa ini. Sistem yang telah mapan dan paradigma masyarakat yang telah terhegemoni produk-produk bank konvensional adalah tantangan tersediri bagi bank syari’ah. Setidaknya ada beberapa tantangan yang dihadapi bank Syari’ah, yaitu pengembangan kelembagaan, perangkat hukum, sumber daya manusia (SDM), pengembangan produk, pangsa pasar, dan penerapan prinsip kehati-hatian
Konsep Kepemilikan Dan Distribusi Pendapatan Dalam Sistem Ekonomi Islam
No full textDalam ekonomi Islam, keinginan manusia untuk mengumpulkan dan memperoleh harta kekayaan adalah fitrah setiap manusia. Manusia diciptakan Allah meliputi jasmani dan rohani. oleh sebab itu, kebutuhannya haruslah terpenuhi. Dorongan manusia untuk memperoleh harta kekayaan adalah tidak lain di sebabkan oleh adanya keberadaan kebutuhan jasmani manusia agar tetap eksis di dunia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendikripsikan konsepsi kepemilikan dan distribusi pendapatan dalam sistem ekonomi Islam. Data dihimpun dengan membaca dan menelaah literatur yang berkaitan dengan fokus pemelitian dan dianalisis dengan teknik deskriftif analisis. Hasil penelitian ini menyatakan Islam tidak melarang individu-individu untuk memperoleh harta kekayaan, melainkan Islam hanya mengatur mekanisme pemerolehan harta kekayaan tersebut. Dengan kata lain, keberadaan hak milik individu diakui oleh Islam. Selain itu, Islam juga mengakui keberadaan kepemilikan umum dan kepemilikan negara. Konsep distribusi pendapatan dalam sistem ekonomi Islam mengharuskan pada dua hal supaya keadilan sebagai prinsip ekonomi Islam termanivestasi didalamnya. Dua hal tersebut adalah adanya keseimbangan harta dalam masyarakat dan larangan adanya penimbunan hart
KRITIK EKONOMI ISLAM TERHADAP MEKANISME DISTRIBUSI PENDAPATAN DALAM SISTEM EKONOMI KAPITALIS
Full text linkThe system of free-market as a modern society system, in reality, does not fully prop prosperity up for society. This as if contradicts to Invisible Hand theory of Adam Smith becoming background of free-market system. In one hand, it cannot be denied that the free-market system has helped the achievement of economic growth rapidly. But, in another hand, that growth is not gathered with equalization so it causes the social imbalance and discrepancy. In fact, the benefit of free-market system is only taken by the investors, while the poor people must allow their power to be sold to the investors. Therefore, by the imbalance fact of free-market system, it is proper that the existence of free-market as an income distribution mechanism is questionable. By that fact, Islamic economy offers an alternative solution due to inefficient free-market system in capitalism system. That solution is by giving government opportunity as regulator.This is urgent because by their authority, the imbalance of market mechanism can be minimized. Their actualization in the public is based on Tauhid, al-Adl, and Khilafah principle as the basic of economic interaction. In this case, the main act of government is related to the fulfillment of basic need and guarantee in achieving the spiritual values implementation in the social lif
